Flowers, flowers flowers...

My mom's 50th birthday is today, and yesterday we had a surprise party for her - she had no idea!!!  My sister and I made a garden cake! which consisted of lots and lots of pretty flowers.
Making flowers takes a lot of time and patience, but creating them to look like the real thing is really so much fun!  We spanned the flower making over the whole week - making some everyday this week - this cake totalling around 16 hours of work! Check it out!

Fondant Gerbera Daisies and My first 'Wedding Cake'!!!

the time leading up to this seemed to go by fast - now its done! I used 5 batches of cake batter - 3 tier cake, plus single slab.. a total of about 12 hours of work, including baking... and making over 20 Gerbera daisies.   Next time I will give myself a little more time to make the flowers - that part took forever!!  BUT in the end I think it turned out great, and the bride was happy!

Flowers & Cake Design Class DONE!!

Finished the 3rd class tonight! It was another fun time - Learned a lot - Especially about royal icing!!  Not sure how I feel about it though.. not my favourite thing... I think I'm stuck in fondant mode right now.. lol  Check out my final cake!

Strawberry Shortcake and Minnie Mouse!!!

Girly cakes!! I feel like I do more boy cakes than girl ones, so this was so much fun to make - both turned out great, and so cute!!

Sports Car Cake & Rice Crispies...

So I attempted to carve the car out of rice crispy cereal... it was pretty easy I guess..  I just prefer to only work in cake whenever I can.. But it was easy to work with, check it out!

Guitar Cake!!

I am so happy with how this turned out! I started with a stencil that I drew on paper - then I carved out the shape, iced the cake, then covered it in Homemade fondant.. again!(love this stuff)  - After it was covered in white fondant - I hand-painted the colour on - I really tried to get the colour right!

The 7 Chakras Cake...

Had an interesting time with Royal icing last night... Its definitely different than buttercream. I had to pipe the outline figure twice, because it cracked on me the first time.

Check out my latest cake!
